Apache Allura is an open source implementation of a software forge, a web site that manages source code repositories, bug reports, discussions, wiki pages, blogs, and more for any number of individual projects. FEATURES

Issue Tracking Issue tracking in Allura has been rethought from the ground up. We use our own issue tracking in developing Allura itself (Allura is completely self-hosted!) so we’re forced to think through the process on a daily basis.

Tickets (and all other Allura tools) let you use markdown for formatting, and attach files. You can organize tickets with milestones, custom fields, and labels In addition to simple search, an advanced search syntax is available. Favorite searches can be saved for frequent use. Threaded discussion on tickets Subscribe to tracker updates through email or rss Links and backlinks to other artifacts throughout your project (all of our tools have this)

Threaded Discussion Forums Discussion forums are a standard tool, and are the communication hub of many projects.

Subscribe to forums by email or rss Reply to forum posts by email Project admins can moderate discussion posts Spam bot protection Allow anonymous posting, only logged in users, or even a specific list of users If you prefer, your project can have a traditional mailing list Blog tool with threaded discussion Set posts to draft mode while working on them Full threaded discussion on blog posts, linking to other artifacts, and markdown formatting just like other tools Users can be mentioned in discussions and artifacts

Code Repository Of course the heart of your Open Source project is the source code, and this is an area where we really shine.
